Abstract:
A community is a place and a time in which different people mutually transform each other. The delicate balance between the welcoming process of young unaccompanied foreign minors in a structured but flexible context, the community in the Italian SAI system, is exercised between double absences, plural narratives and complex biographies. The care of relationships brings out the clash between the time of functioning (bureaucratic and social needs) and the time of existence (personal growth and emotional processing). The educational team works by maintaining a professional and human bond, aware that routine, emotional closeness and active listening require “tuning in” to otherness, contemplating inevitable challenges and mistakes. In addition, the community is a place of transition, offering stability and paths to autonomy and social integration. A careful pedagogical glance will bring back elements of the educational action designed, situated and narrated thanks to established inter-professional alliances.
